Sun, 03 Aug 2014 20:17:09 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2271751#comment-3518927The real reason Kenny Easley played 3-4 years was because the NFL’s all-purpose pain killer, just as in the Military services, during his era was Ibuprofen (Motrin). Kenny Easley was, without a doubt the hardest hitting safety during his era. He redefined the position of safety, which is what the Hall of Fame is all about. Did this player redefine his position, when he played the game? Kenny Easley would big a very big YES!
I watched this guy play and watched as receivers were terrified of him. He knocked the snot out of anyone daring to come his way. Everyone knew it! The only other player with his caliber at the time was Ronnie Lott of the San Francisco 49ers.
All of you haters, who have no idea what the hell you are talking about, because you are simply trolls with nothing but piss and vinegar running in your veins, along with cowardice, have no idea who this man was back in the day.
He would lay you out, but is now on Kidney dialysis, you freaks, because he gave his whole body of every freakin’ play!
The brightest star, burns half as long, because it burns hotter than any other.
Kenny Easley is absolutely deserving of being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Watch his games, if you should ever get the opportunity, the guy was a BEAST!

A player who truly respected the organization and its fans. My hat is off to him, having the respect to take the time to understand and appreciate the teams history is 100% class. Not to mention, he was a bad ass tackle.

Jones was the best LT to ever play. No one will see a better one in this lifetime. ALWAYS played and always dominated. It’s no wonder the movie “Blindside” used Jones as an example of what a left tackle is.

I’ll never forget the stories about you pushing trucks around town. You’re a HOFer now. None of the small minded and smug individuals that see fit to snipe and jibe here today can in any way reduce your many accomplishments.

BUT the only difference is the new 9er fans have a better understanding of the “past” and history because that’s all any 9er fan talks about.

Seattle, Jax, Carolina, San Diego have good histories and they may not boast 8 super bowls and 20 HOF’ers but the bitterness towards these teams when they do win or produce great talent is ridiculous. Before 1970, The Steelers were a “joke” franchise and the Patriots had some real weak moments themselves and almost moved to St. Louis mind you.

Sun, 03 Aug 2014 08:22:30 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2271751#comment-3518161Jones deserves his hall call for sure, but I’m not sure how well he knows his Seahawks history if he is pimping Kenny Easley for the HOF.

Easley certainly was a great player…for 3 or 4 seasons. But he was washed by his mid-twenties due to injuries/health. Just didn’t play long enough to even think about HOF.

If he wants to talk about underappreciated Seahawks he should be talking about John L. Williams, the best all around true fullback (i.e. not a pseudo-tailback like Franco Harris or John Riggins) of the modern era.

This guy really believes that putting Raiders or any other nfl team for that matter in los Angeles is going to effect chargers in anyway, is completely disillusional! If chargers had any real fan base in los Angeles, then just maybe chargers could fill their stadium, but they don’t, why? The drive is not far, Oakland is much further and more people make that trip! Chargers should worry about getting a fan base in San Diego before opening their mouths about los Angeles nfl.Raiders Nation all day… speaking the truth..

1. Imagine if the Seahawks were still in the AFC? Let’s just say that Denver and New England would still need to add more pieces to have a chance.

2. Walter Jones and Anthony Muñoz were the two greatest offensive lineman I’ve ever seen play the game of football. Each guy was a once in a generation talent.

3. Walter Jones and Derrick Brooks were the only two players in this class to gain entry into the hall as soon as they became eligible. Two of the greatest to ever play the game, both guys are class acts who played their entire careers for their respective teams, and those two teams came into the league together in the late 70’s. So cool.
